Gurus! Can you please help me with advise on how to do this.

I have an 'orders' table in Mysql database. I want to capture user comments received through email directly on the comments column in this table. I am expecting the users to provide the order number in subject header. I need help on how to do this and also how do I create a specific email address which when received with the order number appends its comments to my order table comments column.

Thanks in advance - mrkumar

It's more of a rare question, and can easily turn up bad search terms, so no problem. :)
